The Greatest Salesman in the World, Part 2: The End of the Story

Great book filled with reminder of what is important in life. We all get sidetracked and this brief read can change your life. IF you let it.

Love the stories and lessons

Great book to read

It was a new find for me but now is a classic I recommended to everybody, a great sequel and a fun read!

Og Mandino was a prolific Christian writer. His writing inspires and uplifts the reader to feel part of something greater than themselves. Each of the principles taught within the pages of each book will create value in the reader's life. I highly recommend the purchase of The Greatest Salesman in the World!

The original Greatest Salesman in the World follows the great salesman Hafid's life before and after he reads the 10 scrolls of selling success. In this quite similar sequel, the scrolls of success are lost in a shipwreck, and Hafid is divinely called to write 10 new scrolls in order to replace the old ones.The new scrolls emphasize these main points:-Never again will I belittle myself-I won't start the day without a map-I will be enthusiastic-I will never be unpleasant to others-I will look for triumph in adversity-I will do my best on every task-I will focus completely on the task at hand-I will never wait for opportunity, instead I will seek it-Each night, I will reflect on what I did, and think about how I can improve-I will pray to the creator in success and failureSome of these points look VERY similar to the points made in the first book, so much that I was tempted to give this book 3 stars, but the new scroll emphasizing the foolishness of waiting for opportunity was much needed. Also, the last scroll about prayer was needed, even though it is essentially a repeat of the tenth scroll in the first book. I am very glad that this author puts so much emphasis on prayer.Aside from repetition, the only thing I didn't like about this book is that the scrolls are treated so majestically, being just a hair under Biblical scripture itself - almost as if to suggest that the ingredients necessary for any kind of success are both the Word of God AND ten extra scrolls. I'm not so sure Paul would agree. The scrolls are helpful for success, but not necessary.But yeah, I have to agree. Sitting around and waiting for opportunity to come to you is really the worst thing you can do.

This is a good book and I learned some good ideas from it. It was not as good as the first one but that was a very high bar. I still reccomend reading this one. I do love who he dedicated the book to. I am not going to tell you who. You have to find out for yourself.

Really pleased with this purchase.

Would be a great read

If you are looking for direction in your life or for a purpose or just looking for a reminder that life is what you make it. Then this book is for you.

This was another emotional gem and had equally effective story and the principles of lifelong success. It is best read together with the first book: The Greatest Salesman in the World.

C'est vraiment chuper !

Fantastic continuation of "The greatest salesman in the world" teaching some of the most important success principles in life. Worth every single minute of time invested in reading the words of Og Mandino.
